Glasgow City Council

To encourage more active travel, our City Network will deliver high-quality, segregated cycleways and improved pedestrian infrastructure across Glasgow. The first phase (Inner North and South) will together create around 56.5km of active travel routes. Following previous community consultation, we’ve identified some additional routes for the Inner North network and a number of alternative routes for the South network. You can now see these revised, draft designs and give us your feedback at a drop-in event. Alternatively, take a look at the amended Network Maps in our Story Map and click on the Share Your Feedback tab to comment. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eps6M5Ne
